I just finished some recipes for some CMake-built packages (from the Kurento project). I managed to get everything building, but I had to modify how cmake.bbclass does things, and I'm wondering if there's a better way to solve some of these.

Each of the packages generates a pkg-config file and a CMake module that are then used by other packages (later in the build) to locate their dependencies. I see that cmake.bbclass hard-codes the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH setting to point to just the location in the native sysroot, but target packages can't install their CMake modules there. I tweaked the definition so that when building non-native packages, CMAKE_MODULE_PATH points into both the target sysroot and the native sysroot. This seemed to do the trick, but wasn't sure it was the correct way to solve this.
Instead of a CMake module the project should install a <Name>Config.cmake in its data directory and append a private module directory to the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

The generated pkg-config files were a bit trickier - the CMakefiles that generate them assume that the CMAKE_INSTALL_xxxDIR variables are always relative paths, but cmake.bbclass passes in absolute paths -- which, by my read of the CMake docs, is allowed. I think in this case the Kurento CMakefiles need fixing, but there were a lot of them, so it was simpler to change cmake.bbclass to strip the prefix off the front of those variable settings.
CMake supports relative and absolute paths for the CMAKE_INSTALL_xxxDIR variables but the default are relative paths.

The CMake files sould be fixed and extract the relative path from the full path variable: file (RELATIVE_PATH CMAKE_INSTALL_RELATIVE_LIBDIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}" "${CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBDIR}")
